How asbestos removal works in Ratton Village

Questions from Ratton Village
Do you cover Ratton Village and the area around Hampden Park station?
Yes, we cover Ratton Village and the area towards Hampden Park station, about 1.2 miles east.
Do older homes in Ratton Village have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Ratton Village?
We do: Ratton Village is within the area we cover in East Sussex. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ratton Village, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Ratton Village
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in Ratton Village, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
After we have finished in Ratton Village
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
